With Nintendo Direct, Nintendo/Iwata Raising Eyebrows

Iran White writes:

'Back during the first few years after the release of the Wii, and people had long since finished The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, there was quite the drought on Nintendo’s console.

...But unlike a few years ago, Nintendo has made an adjustment to the way they choose to deal with information release.'

i don't care what other folks say i want to play that rpg they showed.

TruthbeTold4123d ago

Agreed. I definitely want to know more about Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem as well.

morpha4123d ago

I am so incredibly keen on the follow up to Xenoblade Chronicle. But has anyone else noticed that its less colorful than the original one? Its all brown/grey like Battlefield.

TruthbeTold4123d ago

True, but that's only because they showed us a few areas. Remember, these worlds are huge. They probably showed us the brown stuff, because they knew people would want to compare it to Skyrim and the like. It of course remains to be seen, but I wouldn't worry too much. It should be colorful in plenty of areas.

I read the aritcle about Dos and Don'ts of SSB4, and I still don't see why Miis would be such a big deal. Playing as them would be optional. And, if Solid Snake can be in the game and gotten used to, I don't see why a Nintendo character that's also the player can't

TruthbeTold4123d ago

I wouldn't mind if the Miis had an optional Mii Mode. But if I jump online and have to face Mii's, or everyone is using Mii's during local play, I seriously won't like the game as much anymore. But, if current trends predict future ones, then I'd have to say that you probably will get what you want. I'm probably in the minority with my opinion.

kirbyu4123d ago

Yeah, but Miis aren't the only character disliked by people. So I don't see what the problem is.

TruthbeTold4123d ago

I can only speak for myself I guess, but the Mii is a user created, thing. They can look o.k., but they can also look crappy. This next Smash Bros is the first foray into HD for the series. I don't see how Mii's are going to fit in a way that isn't an eyesore, unless there is a special, separate mode for it. Or perhaps if it's only on the 3DS version.

kirbyu4123d ago

Another solution is you can't use 'em online. They'd probably do this anyway so kids playing don't end up fighting one named Penis.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno8d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
